provide access to the google desktop search service from remote machines

i’ve been moving all my media, back ups, docs and music to one server that i can access from any anywhere in the house. it’s coming along slowly, but i wanted to have some fast searching on it–and with the new google desktop search it’s almost possible, but it can only search the local machine. well, here’s the google desktop proxy which will allow you do search a machine with the google desktop search app from another computer.

be careful with this one, someone could potentially search your machine get your info, also be nice and don’t do anything bad with this :-]

I saw another one called Soogle – Search over the google, an open source project from Sourceforge.net
It uses apache + Php to parse the GDS search. more flexible and easier to extend more functionalities like user management, new document alerts, etc.
